This is probably the easiest solution to your problem, if you want to have
DF0: on the left and DF1: on the right. I just finished installing a pair of
ProDrives in my 2000 so I can offer a comment if you want to do it by
changing jumpers. If you want the ProDrive as DF0: you will have to change
the jumper in the block to the left (looking at the drive upside down, front
towards you), it needs to be moved one position back (I'd make a picture but
the drive is all fastened in and my memory is not that exact). Also
remember to have the data cable positioned with the stripe on the left (The
original drive that was with my 2000 was the other way around). You'll have
to ask someone who has a 2010 what the jumper setting for that to be DF1:
though.
 
 Hope this is some help.
